Place is for sure different! Very cool thou. A big ol tree with thousands of shoes! I wonder why the first person put a pair of shoes on this tree. Very cool. Good place to stretch & experience something no one has ever seen before!

Too funky! I stopped here a couple of years ago because from a distance I thought the old tree was a roosting place for buzzards! But turns out it is a resting place for Nike, Adidas and even a few pair of boots. There are many more shoes among the branches, and this stop I discovered the windfall graveyard at the bottom of the tree!

I pulled the motorhome over just to take a break and stretch my legs. And there was a shoe tree right in front of us. We seen 3 or 4 of these in our travels. But this one was packed with every shoe you could imagine. They are all kind of cool, and it is amazing how many shoes can be launched into a tree and stay.

Its a tree. Filled with shoes. In the middle of nowhere. Its exactly what it sounds like.

An interesting place to see if you are driving Highway 50. I’ve passed it twice now and I would recommend visiting in the cooler months though because when it’s 32C the smell is nigh on unbearable.

I Got to make a wish and throw A Pair Of Diver flippers on the tree

A real hanging tree... I actually saw the ghosts of many soles hangin around!

Always a fun crazy sport in the middle of nowhere

Very cool! Thousands of shoes!... its worth the quick stop its not just to see the shoes to get out and stretch your legs on this lonely Highway. Its a cool place to take a couple pictures and if you got an old crappy pair of shoes...get rid of them

It was a very cool find!

Missing a pair of shoes. I found them.

Lets face it, there is not much on this road. Worth stretching your legs

An awesome stop in the middle of nowhere. Bring your old sneakers or shoes and toss into the tree. You will find cowboy boots, children shoes and every variety of sneakers.

A fun stop on the road. Make sure you bring a pair to toss!

Great place to visit. Stopped at the bar down the street and got a great hamburger.

Who knew a tree surrounded by old shoes could be so entertaining!

How fun is this? But if anyone finds a camera SD card.. find me please.

Carla E Photography stopped here to capture the TrailsWest, Inc Monument for Middlegate. I am working on a Coffee Table book of Pony Express ruins from Sacramento to Salt Lake. This was intersting to see all of these shoes!!!Up, Down and all around!

Worth stopping and tossing your old shoes on as you cross America!

Neat place to hang shoes on the tree

I was driving by one day and I saw the tree and I thought it was a wonderful thing and I showed it to my grandkids and they thought it was really great I think its up 12th Wonder now what I do arent even still talking I mean it still it whatever I say its still doing his thing yeah I love that tree the trees the best tree ever have I wish it was a money tree though I didnt like him or

I drive past here daily and I suggest if you stop, please pull off of the highway as far as you can. Ive seen too many close calls and I never want to see anyone get hurt while enjoying something so unique in a rural highway.

We discovered The Shoe Tree by missing our turn. I am glad that we missed the turn. The Shoe Tree is a fun social experiment to see. (If my husband wonders what happened to those air conditioned sneakers he keeps wearing, dont tell him to look here.)

Two trees in a flood plane, wash, full of duty hanging shoes and other discarded things from tourists and the mining community on the loneliest highway in America

I read that the shoe tree was cut down about nine years ago by some Vandals. They have replaced it with a few smaller trees that were growing near by. Evidence of the old shoe tree is still there

Unique and wired.

A tree, lots of shoes... Desert Bighorn occasionally visible. Great stop.

So cool

The shoe tree is a very interesting and fun place to stop alongside Highway 50.

Super neat spot. We turned around because we missed it the first time.

Take 5 minutes to see this oddity.

July 2009

Dont know who thought of this. The tree is definitely falling under the weight of shoes.

Never know what you will find there.

Neato

The old shoe tree was cut down by vandals in 2010 see pic. the new shoe tree is smaller

Very unique land mark

Shoes on a tree. Whats not to love?

Shoes!

Bring some old shoes

Glad to see the new shoe tree is growing well.

Dumb

Funny.

Must see and do

So Many Shoes!

A tree with shoes all over it, in the middle of nowhere
